The Intercessor's Companion - Lee Ann Rubsam
Intercession is a work of faith, and some of the things we carry before the Lord in prayer challenge our faith extraordinarily. That is why I have written The Intercessor's Companion -- to strengthen your faith and to help you stand your ground firmly, so that you receive the answers for which you are laboring.
We begin this book by establishing through Scripture that God truly guides us in what we hear and in how we pray those things through, that God is faithful to do what He has promised, and that He not only desires good things for us, but that He is also utterly trustworthy to give us the answers that we need. From there, we go to other topical listings of verses that can be used to pray about particular subjects, such as healing, the need for provision, and salvation for loved ones.
As you read through these verses frequently and meditate on them, your faith will increase. You may wish to read them aloud, because "faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God" (Romans 10:17). In addition, you will find it helpful to have verses that apply to a particular need listed together, so that you have them at your fingertips when you need to effectively press your case before the Lord's throne. He loves it when we use His Word like that!
May you obtain your prayer answers as you skillfully wield the Word of God, and may this book be a blessing-tool to help you achieve that goal.
~ Lee Ann
Your Importance as an Intercessor
We need to realize that our call to intercession is very important in the Lord's eyes. People tend to minimize the importance of prayer, but God does not. God loves the heart of the intercessor. Two Persons of the Godhead, the Holy Spirit and Jesus, are actively and continuously interceding. Romans 8:26 tells us that the Spirit himself makes intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered,
while Romans 8:34 goes on to say, Christ who died, yes rather, who is risen again, who is even at the right hand of God, … also makes intercession for us.
In intercession, we are partnering with Jesus and the Holy Spirit in praying for what is already on Father's heart -- IF we pray according to the revealed will of God in Scripture, coupled with staying sensitive to the Spirit's prompting and leading.
Whether you feel valuable as an intercessor or not, you are. Whether you feel your prayers are important or not, they are. But please do not take just my word for it. Let's see what the Bible says:
I have set watchmen upon your walls, O Jerusalem, which shall never hold their peace day or night. You who make mention of the LORD, do not keep silence, and give him no rest, until he establishes, and until he makes Jerusalem a praise in the earth.
-- Isaiah 62:6, 7
And I sought for a man among them that would make up the hedge and stand in the gap before me for the land, so that I would not destroy it: but I found none.
-- Ezekiel 22:30
And he saw that there was no man and wondered that there was no intercessor: therefore his arm brought salvation to him, and his own righteousness sustained him.
-- Isaiah 59:16
If any man sees his brother sin a sin which is not unto death, he shall ask, and he [God] shall give him life for those who do not sin unto death ….
-- 1 John 5:16
And the prayer of faith shall save the sick, and the Lord shall raise him up: and if he has committed sins, they shall be forgiven him. … Pray for one another, so that you may be healed. The effective fervent prayer of a righteous man avails much.
-- James 5:15, 16
However, this kind [of demon] will not go out except by prayer and fasting.
-- Matthew 17:21
There are countless examples of people in the Bible who took intercession seriously and got answers. Abraham, Job, Moses, Aaron, King Hezekiah, and many of the Old Testament prophets were intercessors. The Apostle Paul was as well. The following references tell a few of their stories. I encourage you to read them, so that you can see what God can do through your prayers:
Abraham: Genesis 18:16-33 and Genesis 20:17, 18
Job: Job 42:7-10
Moses: Exodus 32:9-14
Moses and Aaron: Numbers 16:43-50
King Hezekiah: 2 Chronicles 30:18-20
Amos: Amos 7:1-6
Daniel: Daniel 9:1-19 (brought about the return of Israel to their land)
Never, ever, question the significance of your ministry as an intercessor. The intercession of God's people is a primary tool that He uses to advance His Kingdom in the earth today.
The Bible Is True
If we are to go anywhere in prayer in more than a hit-and-miss fashion, we must have it firmly established in our hearts and minds that God's Word is true. This means all of it. Because His Word is unshakably true, we can count on it to bring forth the results we need it to produce when we apply portions of it to our intercessions.
Isaiah 55:10, 11 declares, For as the rain and the snow come down from heaven and do not return there, but water the earth and make it bring forth and bud, that it may give seed to the sower and bread to the eater, so shall my word be that goes forth from my mouth. It shall not return to me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it.
When we pray the Word, we can know that it will bring forth results. We can trust its reliability to be rock-solid.
This is what God says about the truthfulness of His Word:
The law of the LORD is perfect, converting the soul: the testimony of the LORD is sure, making the simple wise.
-- Psalm 19:7
As for God, his way is perfect; the word of the LORD is tried. He is a buckler to all those who trust in him.
-- Psalm 18:30
Sanctify them through your truth: your word is truth.
-- John 17:17
…The Scripture cannot be broken.
-- John 10:35
The words of the LORD are pure words: as silver tried in a furnace of earth, purified seven times.
-- Psalm 12:6
Your word is very pure: therefore your servant loves it.
Your righteousness is an everlasting righteousness, and your law is the truth.
-- Psalm 119:140, 142
Your testimonies are very sure: holiness becomes your house, O LORD, forever.
-- Psalm 93:5
Your word is true from the beginning, and every one of your righteous judgments endures forever.
-- Psalm 119:160
Every word of God is pure: he is a shield to them who put their trust in him.
-- Proverbs 30:5
And now, O Lord GOD, you are that God, and your words are true, and you have promised this goodness to your servant.
-- 2 Samuel 7:28
Into your hand I commit my spirit: you have redeemed me, O LORD God of truth.
-- Psalm 31:5
For the word of the LORD is right, and all his works are done in truth.
-- Psalm 33:4
For the LORD is good; his mercy is everlasting, and his truth endures to all generations.
-- Psalm 100:5
… Which God, who cannot lie, promised before the world began.
-- Titus 1:2
That by two immutable [absolutely unchangeable] things, in which it is impossible for God to lie, we might have a strong consolation, who have fled for refuge to lay hold upon the hope set before us.
-- Hebrews 6:18
God Intends for Us to Know His Will
Many traditions that the Church has accepted over the years are not good Bible truth. In some circles, people
